IntraLinks Announces New Study Management Software

IntraLinks, a provider of critical information exchange solutions, announced enhancements to its study management offering with the release of IntraLinks for Study Management.

The company is a provider of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS (News - Alert)) solutions for securely managing content, exchanging critical business information and collaborating within and among organizations.

The new secure, online platform is designed for managing and monitoring all communication and activity with investigative sites and other outside parties during clinical trials from study start-up through study close-out.

IntraLinks for Study Management also expands the full suite of IntraLinks' solutions for clinical operations, which accelerates business processes, cuts costs and reduces risks throughout the entire clinical trial lifecycle.

It helps users centralize all study-related documents, communication and activity history in an organized, consistent and searchable fashion. The study management software can also be used to standardize and automate processes such as contract and budget negotiation, regulatory document distribution and collection and ongoing document exchange.

The solution eliminates repetitive and redundant site data entry and document submission and provides sites with a personalized view of tasks, requests and due dates, with reminder alerts and a secure communication channel to ensure timely site activation.

It also helps monitor process progress with real-time activity dashboards and meet regulatory compliance with detailed access reports and audit trails.

“The clinical research community has trusted IntraLinks for over 10 years to securely exchange information and accelerate processes, while upholding quality and maintaining regulatory compliance,” said Fahim Siddiqui, executive vice president of product and operations for IntraLinks, in a statement.

According to Siddiqui, IntraLinks for Study Management enables their customers to use them from start to finish for clinical trials, meeting a critical business need.

With this solution, companies can save two million dollars in study start-up costs and reduce cycle time by 50 percent for an average Phase III clinical trial when using IntraLinks instead of traditional paper-based methods of document distribution, collection and collaboration, according to Siddiqui.

IntraLinks solution is already in use by the top 10 global pharmaceuticals, biotechs and Contract Research Organizations or “CROs.” The solution also offers a collaborative platform for site recruitment and safety reporting as part of its suite of solutions.

Recently IntraLinks introduced  IntraLinks for Corporate Legal Management, an expanded suite of solutions providing general counsels and corporate legal teams with an unprecedented ability to efficiently and effectively manage their increased responsibilities throughout the enterprise.
